  HEXER GRIP SFX

  

  Details of the rubber
  It's considerably softer than the standard Hexer Grip, with a more modest bounce. Even so, it's remarkably stable used on either the forehand or backhand, making it a rubber that suits any player. It's also quite cheap, so the value for money is excellent.
  Forehand impressions
  Because it's soft, the ball sinks in even without a full swing. But the bounce is weak for a tension rubber, so even when you feel like you swung through it properly, the ball doesn't come out especially fast. That said, the sheet is strong and grips the ball well, so it's easy to put spin on. On top of that, I could hit consistently, which was really nice.
  Backhand impressions
  On the backhand, that inherent stability shows even more. Speed is still hard to generate here too, but even a compact swing lands the ball reliably. I felt this rubber works best for placing shots to spots rather than going for one big shot.
  Short game, serves, etc.
  Since the bounce isn't too strong, it's easy to handle. The sheet is strong, so if you brush it properly, spin comes on.
  Even so, it doesn't lose any of its performance as a tension rubber — flicks and chiquitas are easy to pull off too.

  ラバーの詳細
  従来のヘキサーグリップよりもかなり柔らかく、弾みは控えめ。しかし、フォア、バック両方で使っても抜群の安定感で、プレイヤーを選ばないラバー。値段もかなり安く、コスパにも優れている。
  フォアの感想
  柔らかいので、フルスイングしなくてもボールが食い込む。しかしテンションの割に弾みが弱いので、しっかり振れたと思ってもあまり速いボールは出ない。しかし、シートが強く、引っかかりやすいので、回転を掛けやすい。更に、安定して球が打てるのでかなり良かった。
  バックの感想
  バックハンドでは持ち前の安定感がより顕著に出る。こちらもスピードは出しずらいのだが、コンパクトなスイングでもしっかり入る。一発というよりはコースを突いていくのが使い方としては最適だと感じた。
  台上、サーブ等
  弾みが強過ぎない分、やり易い。シートが強いので、しっかり擦れば回転が掛かる。
  それでもテンションラバーとしての性能を損なうこと無く、フリックやチキータも入れやすい。

  ROZENA

  

  Forehand impressions
  Spin, speed — everything is a bit below Tenergy, which sounds bad when I put it that way, but honestly that's still really impressive.
  The ball leaves the rubber quickly, and if you swing through properly you can hit some pretty fast drives.
  The sponge has just the right hardness — when you swing, the ball sinks in, and thanks to the spring sponge it just flies off on its own after that. The topsheet grip is quite strong too, so brushing the ball gives you a lot of spin.
  Backhand impressions
  Personally, I think the backhand is where this rubber really shines. As mentioned above, backhand drives fly cleanly thanks to the sponge. Normally the backhand only goes in if your swing is clean, but with Rozena, it goes in even with a somewhat rough swing.
  The thing I liked best was chiquita. The sheet grabs the ball firmly and it drives into the table with intense spin.
  Even when you think you brushed it too much, the sponge still launches the ball forward, so it carries all the way to your opponent's side properly.
  If you think Tenergy is too expensive or that you need courage to use it, this is a rubber I'd want you to try at least once.

  フォアの感想
  回転量、スピード、全てがテナジーの少し下、と言うと聞こえが悪いが、これはかなり凄い事。
  球離れが早く、しっかりスイングするとかなりのスピードドライブが打てる。
  スポンジが丁度良い硬さで、スイングすれば食い込み、スプリングスポンジの恩恵で後は勝手にボールが飛んでいく。シートの引っかかりもかなり強いので、擦るとかなり回転が掛かる。
  バックの感想
  個人的にはバックこそこのラバーの真骨頂だと思う。バックドライブは前述したように、スポンジのお陰で綺麗に飛んでいく。バックはスイングが綺麗でないと入らないが、ロゼナであれば、多少無茶な打ち方でも入ってくれる。
  一番良いと思ったのがチキータ。シートがしっかりボールを捉えて、強烈な回転でコートに突き刺さる。
  こすり過ぎたかなと思ってもスポンジがボールを飛ばすので、相手までちゃんと飛んでくれる。
  テナジーが高い、使うのに勇気がいる、と言う人は一度使って欲しいラバー。

  HURRICANE PRO Ⅲ TURBO ORANGE

  

  Rubber details
  Strongly tacky, hard sponge — basically the definition of a tacky rubber.
  Forehand impressions
  In a word: insane spin. That sums it up. But being tacky, it just doesn't fly much. Since it's hard, the ball won't clear the net unless you hit it with strong impact. But when you do make solid contact, the spin and the way the ball flies are ridiculous. Also, thanks to the tackiness the ball grips onto the rubber really well, so lifting techniques are quite easy to do.
  Backhand impressions
  Same as the forehand — it won't fly unless you make solid impact. Since it's tacky and holds the ball well, brushing the ball is easy on this side too, but because it doesn't fly, you can't produce a soft connecting shot. If you're going to use it on the backhand, you need to be able to swing your backhand properly or it's basically unusable.
  Short game, serves, etc.
  Because it doesn't fly much over the table, even an aggressive push stays on the table. Stops are doable, but sometimes it holds the ball so well that it doesn't clear the net. Flicks work fine if you use your wrist properly. Chiquitas are quite easy to do.
  Serves are, as expected, easy to put heavy spin on. Since it's hard, if you brush it firmly you can really rip the spin.

  強粘着、硬いスポンジと、the 粘着ラバーという感じのラバー
  フォアの感想
  ズバリ超回転。この一言に尽きる。しかし粘着なので、やはり飛ばない。硬いので強いインパクトで打球出来ないとボールがネットを超えない。しかし、ちゃんと打球出来た時の回転、ボールの飛び方はエグい。また、粘着のお陰でかなり球を持つので、持ち上げなどの技術はかなりやり易い。
  バックの感想
  こちらもフォアと同様に、しっかりインパクト出来ないと飛ばない。粘着で球持ちが良いので、こちらも擦り上げたりするのはやり易いが、飛ばないので繋ぎのボールが出せない。バックで運用する場合は、しっかりバックハンドを振れないとマトモに使えない。
  台上、サーブ等
  台上は飛ばない分自分からツッツキを切りに行っても台に収まる。ストップも出来なくはないが球持ちが良すぎてネットを超えないことがあった。弾く技術はちゃんと手首を使えば入る。チキータはなかなかやりやすい。
  サーブはやはり切りやすい。硬いのでしっかり擦るとブチギることが出来る。
